Chapter 1,072: Visiting the School Ships.
(Jatkasota School Carrier Ship.)
Another calm and peaceful night here. We see three girls are around the campfire, and Mika on her kanetele and with her are her teammates from her tank. Gunner and loader, Aki, and driver Mikko. They enjoy this peaceful and calming night on their school ship.
Mika then stops playing. "It seems we have an uninvited guest here." This alarms the other two, and Boomer shows up and sits on one of the vacant wooden seats, and he has an acoustic guitar, and what he does next is going to be very weird, and also stupid.
"Let's gather 'round the campfire and sing our campfire song."
"Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song."
"And if you don't think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong."
"But it'll help if you just sing along!"
"Bum, bum, bum..."
Then Boomer starts to sing quickly. "C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song, C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song, And if you don't think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong."
"But it'll help if you just sing along."
"C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song, Aki!" But Aki is confused, and is about to say something, but then he changes to someone else. "Mika!" But she remains silent and doesn't seem confused, and remains with her usual calm face. "Good!"
Then the whole scenario for Boomer looks like a rock show for himself. "It'll help, it'll help! If you just sing along!" Then he smashes his guitar to the ground and throws it into the campfire and he yells. "Oh yeah!"
Boomer sees the three girls looking at him confused, but then Gyro shows up and he hits Boomer with his staff and he is knocked out. "Sorry about him, I don't know how he snuck on your ship." Gyro then drags him away, and this confuses Aki and Mikko.
Mika then speaks. "Well, that was unexpected." She continues to play on her kanetele and they enjoy their peaceful night, though they look to the wrecked guitar in the fire and are still baffled about what just happened.
(Kuromorimine, Graf Zeppelin Carrier.)
The tanks from the school are on the move and doing some practice runs and being commanded by Erika Itsumi inside of her King Tiger, and she is doing well in trying to take command. They are all acting in a coordinated manner, and trying the same old tactics which they have been doing ever since, and far from them at the watch tower is Maho Nishizumi, and she is accompanied by Leon Spellman and Linka.
"Wow. They are good at this, and Erika looks truly ready to take command" replied Linka.
"That is the plan after all" replied Maho, and then she explains. "I will not be around for much longer, and soon I will be graduating from Kuromorimine, and headed off to a college. That would mean, Erika will take my place as commander of the school's tankery, and when a tournament comes up she will lead the whole team. But I have some concerns..."
Leon lowers his binoculars and then asks. "And what might that be, commander?"
Maho sighs. "Erika might encounter some form of self-doubt. She has been my sub commander ever since Miho was part of this school back then. She has always listened and followed directives and commands, by the time I leave this school I worry for her way of maintaining the team and the right path to victory, because she is also dependent on the Nishizumi style."
Linka also feels concerned. "She needs to find her own way, I mean the Nishizumi style didn't work well when you girls faced Ooarai and got beaten. Erika needs to figure out her own Senshado."
Maho sees what she means. "One that is not fixed on tradition." This gives her an idea, for when the next event starts up for Erika and the others to face, without her guidance and leadership.
Leon then checks the time. "In less than thirty minutes, I need to head off to Ooarai and see what they are doing for their tankery, but also something else getting my attention."
(Saunders, USS George Washington Carrier.)
Peter Sharp is here, and with his wife Ember and daughter Sam Sharp. Enjoying the scenery of the sea, while enjoying some lunch with Kay, and Naomi. "Gotta say, you girls know how to eat American style" replied Sam, and she is eating a burger.
"A lot of the food here is all American, just as this Carrier and the name" replied Ember, and she eats some fries. "Also, where the heck is you're other friend? Where is Alisa?"
Naomi sighs, and she finishes her soda. "Obviously, dealing with her Takeshi romance problems."
Kay smirks and she explains. "Alisa has been trying to get his attention and also questions if he knows how she feels. Well, word of advice for her is to talk to him, and she hasn't been doing that lately, because apparently there is this other girl Takeshi has been seeing and yet it might not work and Alisa is hoping he would notice her instead. Honestly, she should talk to the guy."
Peter, Ember and Sam remain silent, and then Peter speaks. "You lost me there at Alisa and Takeshi problem. I mean, what the heck is going on here?"
Then Naomi asks. "So, how are everyone else doing visiting the other school ships?"
Sam explains. "Well, right now Martin McKenzie is at St. Gloriana's, since he is British descent..."
(St. Gloriana, HMS Ark Royal Carrier.)
We see at the large gardens, the table is set and drinking some tea is Darjeeling, along with Orange Pekoe and Assam. Rosehip is busy with something else, but she said she would join them for tea soon, and also Martin McKenzie is here, and also enjoying some tea.
The place is so peaceful, so quiet and calming and with nothing else going on.
Martin sips his tea, and he takes in this moment... Then he sighs. "This is boring." He then gets up. "Ladies, Darjeeling. Thank you for the tea, but I must be off to deal with some other things."
Darjeeling nods. "Not at all of a problem, and thank you for accepting our invite and spending only ten minutes here. We understand that a moment such as this is not for most, and you are one who is more interested in finishing what is needed. I respect your choice Mr. McKenzie."
Orange Pekoe and Assam also nod, and Martin takes his leave, but then he trips because he didn't see the low hedge line. "Ow." then he screams in pain, because when he tripped he landed into a small garden.
"It appears he landed in the rose garden patch" replied Orange Pekoe. Then Rosehip shows up, and she goes over and helps Martin out of this bind, and she is also going to yell at him for falling into the rose area which is hers.
Darjeeling then speaks. "As one says, not seeing where you're going will lead to nowhere, but eyes wide and on sight is a vision of what is to come, and what is to be expected or unexpected." and they continue drinking their tea.
(BC Freedom High School, Bearn School Carrier.)
Gyro is here, and alongside him is Michelle Lewis and they are joined by the commander, named Marie, and she just enjoys her cake. They are at the balcony of the school and watch as a small dispute is going on between the higher level students, and the lower level students.
Mademoiselle Marie - She is the overall commander and leader of the school's Escalator faction. She commands a Renault FT-17. She likes to eat cake, a lot and is far more graceful and with poise than her vice commanders. She does what she can, to try and resolve some of the issues between both sides.
Ruka Oshida - She is Marie's vice-commander from the Escalator faction. She commands an ARL-44. She wishes to keep the very posture and image of their school away from bad habits and irrelevant things, such as food stands. She hates Andou.
Rena Andou - She is Marie's vice-commander from the Examination faction. She commands a SOMUA S35. She is a true revolutionary, and she has her own food stand which she serves delicious Tiyaki to the other students. She hates Oshida.
They continue to watch both sides squabble. "So, are you going to do something to stop this madness?" asked Gyro, and he ducks when a fight breaks out and things are thrown.
Marie enjoys her cake. "Later, for now we should let them pass away that energy, and then I shall settle down whatever it is that has gotten them squabbling." she then sighs. "I do fear, that when the next tankery event comes around, it will be harder and harder to make sure those two cooperate."
Becky lowers her binoculars. "Jeez, they really hate each other. Now this is what I call a French Freedom Revolution." She then ducks when a shoe is thrown. "This is intense, and madness too."
They continue to watch this go down, and then Mari asks. "Would you two like some cake?"
Gyro and Michelle thinks about this. "Sure."
(Pravda, Kiev School Carrier.)
The snowy north of the Japanese Sea, and Sergei, Victor, Carol and Loona are here and they watch as the Pravda Team are improving with their skills. They see the KV-2 is trying to improve aim, and also reload time which is hard for them because the crew inside are first years. Klara is in her T-34, and leading this exercise drill.
They then spot the rest of the tanks are just doing some tank laps, and then Katyusha approaches, and within her T-34. "So, are you all truly impressed by the skills set and made by our impressive school and team?" then Nonna in her IS-2 Heavy Tank parks next to them.
Sergei raises an eye brow. "Seems alright, and yet I haven't seen tank training like this because back in World War 2, we never had training. Once a T-34 was done, we were told to get in and go into the fight, and with little training. But, I have been reading everything I needed to know, and then teaching my crew."
"That part of history is true" replied Nonna.
Katyusha smirks. "Well, we have training and are better than before, heck even better than you. What you did during the match, was just a lucky shot and we know that we could beat you again."
Sergei looks to her sternly. "Is that a challenge?"
The others can see where this is going. "Oh boy." Thankfully, they have their tank here, and ready for whatever the hell is going to happen next.
(Anzio Girls High School, Aquila Carrier.)
This is where Lincoln, Luna and Sam are. The trio are here, and enjoying the food being served, and so many Food Stands everywhere! A true and incredible sight. "Whoa, this place is awesome and the food tastes and smells amazing!" said Lincoln.
They are eating some plates, of different pasta dishes. They are accompanied by Duce Anchovy. "Indeed it is, it is like this every day so do not get confused if you think that there is a big festival going on. As you see, here in Anzio our girls have an incredible passion when it comes to find cuisine..." She then looks upset. "If only this kind of motivation, would be more focused on our tank matches."
Sam is surprised and confused. "Okay, well looks like you all have a lot of work to do with that one. But, at least you guys have been given some more funds, and that means you can requisition some more Italian based tanks, right?"
Anchovy nods. "That is correct, and through that we will show that Anzio is not weak, no I mean that Anzio is stronger than before and when the next tankery match comes around, then we will win it all!"
The other students clap and cheer, and they chant. "Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce! Duce!"
Lincoln, Luna and Sam continue to eat and watch this. "Well, they seem to be having fun with whatever this is" replied Luna. "Also, we should call the others to come here and try the food on this School Carrier, it is amazing, and the architecture here is awesome too."
"I wonder how Stella and Jordan are doing with their visit to Ooarai" replied Lincoln, and he continues to eat.
Sam then speaks. "We do plan to see the School Carrier of Chihatan later, right?"
(Ooarai Girls Academy, Zuikaku.)
The sound of tanks rumble, and the Ooarai Girls Academy are already doing their practice run, and seeing how well they can be and improve for the next time they compete. The Duck Team drive fast and they pass by the Rabbit Team who are improving their aim even further, to prove that they are dubbed the Heavy Tank Killers.
Mallard Team is trying to improve with the issue of their Char always getting stuck from rough terrain. The Hippo Team are testing their tactics in range, and improving their aim and skills with the Stug III. The Turtle Team is doing some maintenance on the tracks of their tank, and alongside Leopon Team who are doing more and more modifications to the engine of their Porsche Tiger.
Anglerfish Team is leading this whole practice routine, with Miho Nishizumi instructing the others on what they need to do, while also improving themselves in every way possible.
Stella is with her friends, who is her team, the Anteater Team: Nekoya, Piyotan and Momoga. She helps them with some small cleaning and improvement to their Tank, and she also sees them doing some work out sessions as they do so.
"So, is this something you girls are doing besides video games?" asked Stella.
"Yup, we do this to become stronger in mind and body!" Piyotan is doing some stretches, and then she does some hanging sit-ups using the turret of their tank.
"We gotta improve, and we have been doing this since the moment we almost lost our school, and we have become strong" replied Momoga, and she is doing some punches on the large bag.
Nekonya is... bench pressing, and she is doing it so well that she doesn't seem strained about the weight. "We have been known for only our gaming, and late night activities. But we can become strong, and improve for whatever else is next. Because we are Anteater team!"
The others cheer, and Stella Zhau is amazed. So, she joins in and she does some jump rope. She then has an idea. "Hey, perhaps after this I can show you girls this new video game, called Company of Heroes 3, and yeah it has tanks in it."
Now that gets their attention. They wanna know what kind of genre is the game and how to play, then Anzu goes over and asks. "Hey, Stella. Any word from the others who went off with Momo?"
(Deep within the School Carrier.)
Welcome to the part of the ship called the Underworld.
It is revealed that there's an "underworld" in the Oarai carrier in which neither the Student Council nor the Public Moral Committee has much power. This part is referred to as the "Johannesburg" of Oarai, a reference of the real city of Johannesburg, South Africa, which, prior to FIFA World Cup 2010, was infamous for its high crime rate and slums. Oarai's "Johannesburg" is located lower in the ship than the areas of the ship and the residents of "Johannesburg" have been seen to go so far as to separate themselves from the Upper Parts with barbed wire strung across doorways. Despite the Public Moral Committee's efforts to remove the barbed wire, the residents of "Johannesburg" always replace it later.
Johannesburg is depicted as a dirty slum, a heavily vandalized area full of delinquents and shady characters from among the Naval Studies students. They are quite suspicious of any strangers who enter their domain, and grow hostile toward any attempt to uphold discipline there.
Here, we see Leon Spellman, Jordan Rosato, and her Indoraptor Dominic go down the ladder, and then the stairs and they reach the area, and the one guiding them is Momo Kawashima. "Alright, this is it." they see the barbed wire, and she groans. "Again with this?"
Dominic hisses and he uses his claws to break the barbed wire. "Thanks boy" replied Jordan, and they head down the halls, and they see the other students, the naval department of Ooarai who are rebellious and dangerous and are more likely juvenile delinquents.
The walls have graffiti, and these students look to them with a scowl and uneasy looks, but they remain silent when they see Kawashima, and the large dinosaur looking at them. "Seems like we are safe with the Indoraptor around" replied Leon.
"This part of the ship is a terrible place, but it is also in a way of an importance since the most skilled students are here, who knows how to manage everything. But there are five girls, who do their part and know how to be beyond intimidating and keeping an eye, well sorta on what goes around" replied Momo. "We're almost there."
The group go down some stairs, passed two hallways, pass by these twin students who seem like guards, and then they go down some more stairs, and then they see it. "This is the place, this is where they are." Momo looks to the sign, and it says. Bar Donzoko, and it is located at the lower lawless parts of the ship after almost being kicked out of the school only to be saved by Momo.
"So, we're here to inform them of the ship being saved from getting scrapped?" asked Jordan.
"Just here to see how they are doing" replied Momo. They hear some singing, and so they go inside, but Dominic stays outside to guard, and they see the girls who are based here.
"Tornado" Ogin at the seats and enjoying her beverage "Habanero Rum." "Explosive Cyclone" Rum looking all drunk as she drinks her rum. "Sargasso" Murakami asleep by one of the seats with her hat covering her face. "Great Waves" Flint is singing her own song with her personal golden microphone and serving drinks at the bar is "Fresh Whitebait Rice Bowl" Cutlass.
Ogin sees who it is, and she is alarmed. "Girls, attention on deck!" They all get up, and they get into formation and greet Momo.
"Good day, Ms. Momo."
Momo sighs. "Yeah, okay. Girls, I am here to inform you that our school ship is no longer going to be removed. Thanks to these people, and their organization who have helped in funding the school to keep her afloat and you girls here with the..." She gulps. "Habanero rum."
Leon is confused about that. Then Murakami asks. "And how did you manage to get them to fund us?"
Momo then speaks. "I didn't do anything, but Miho Nishizumi did and... Wait, they don't know anything else that has been going down above, so there doesn't seem to be any point in explaining that part."
Leon then speaks. "Now, I am impressed at how some of the things have been managed on this School Ship, but there are some small concerns involving what goes down within this underworld, and I do hope some of it will improve. We do not want anyone else getting harmed should they stumble upon this place, am I clear?"
These five girls don't know how to respond to that, but then they see the stern look from Momo Kawashima, and they salute. "Sir, yes sir!" Rum then hiccups, and she almost stumbles.
Leon smirks. "Reminds me of pirates, salty sea dogs who are taken down and sent to the bottom, and also drunk and less than appealing."
Momo then speaks. "Dismissed. You may continue with, well whatever it is you girls do." they all nod and go back to what they were doing before.
Then Ogin speaks. "Ms. Momo, I would like to say thank you again for saving us from being shut down and getting kicked out. We don't know where we would be, if it weren't for you."
Momo nods. "You're welcome, I knew that you girls needed this and you're all fine and skilled in Naval and Shipwright actions."
Ogin then speaks. "How about I offer you a drink of Habanero rum?"
Momo is alarmed hearing this. Now, she pretends to like spicy things, but she really can't handle it, and Habanero Rum is... Legit, intense and fiery spicy. "Ummm, no thanks. Perhaps next time." They then take their leave.
But Leon does turn around, and he looks to the door which houses the meat that they smoke and cook. He has this odd feeling. 'Why does it feel like, that there is a tank back there?' He then shrugs off this feeling, and he leaves with the others. Not knowing, that he is actually correct.
Behind the doors of the Meat Smoke House, making smoke for all the hanging meat, is an actual Tank. A World War 1, Mark IV and she sits there and awaits, for when she will return to the surface and perhaps fight in whatever the next match is!
(Outro!)
The sun shines on the battlefield, and the trees are looking green and peaceful, and then the tracks and treads of a tank are seen, and now zoom out... We see the Tank team from FutureTech known as the Veterans Team, and they are... Chibi, and inside of Chibi Tanks.
Panzerkampfwagen VI, Tiger Tank is leading and sticking their heads out and smiling are: Leon, Neil, Gwen, Dana and Michelle Lewis.
Behind is the Panzerkampfwagen V, Panther Medium Tank with Lincoln, Jordan, Linka, Luna and Stella.
Behind them is the Sherman M4A2E8 with Peter, Ember, Sam, Simon and Stella.
Behind them is the Comet 1 (A34) Cruiser Tank with Martin, Jack Cyber, Bobbie Fletcher and Carol.
And lastly, behind them is the T-34-85 Medium Tank with Sergei, Loona, Boomer, and Victor.
Now, cue the music and song! Enter-Enter Mission!

But then, Leon stops smiling and then he looks around and he is confused by everything going around them. "What the hell is going on here?! Why do we look like this?!"
A/N: And this ends the arc, and they all had fun being part of the whole tankery thing and seeing how these school carriers work, and everything else in between. Thanks for reading this guys, I hope you all enjoyed this crossover arc with "Girls und Panzer."
